FAQs
What makes these shorts ideal for climbing?
The combination of ultra-lightweight, 4-way stretch fabric and a split hem design allows for maximum freedom of movement, essential for executing high foot placements and reaching for holds on climbing routes.
Are these shorts suitable for everyday wear?
While comfortable, their design is optimized for dynamic outdoor activities. They are lightweight and breathable, making them excellent for sports, but may not offer the same coverage or warmth for casual everyday wear in all conditions.
How do I wash and care for the Rab Harpur Shorts?
You can machine wash them cold (30°C) with similar colors using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. A cool iron is permissible if needed. Do not dry clean.
What is the fit like?
The shorts feature a regular fit with a partially elasticated waistband that can be adjusted for a personalized and secure fit. They are designed to allow for movement without being overly baggy.
How many pockets do they have and where are they located?
The shorts have two open hand pockets for easy access to frequently needed items, and one zipped pocket located at the back for secure storage of valuables.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
The fabric is designed for breathability and quick drying, making them suitable for light rain or sweat. However, they are not waterproof and may not be ideal for prolonged heavy rain.
What size should I choose?
Refer to the size guide for Rab apparel. The available size is UK 36 waist. Consider your typical fit and how you prefer your activewear to sit, keeping in mind the adjustable waistband.
Troubleshooting
Waistband feels too loose or too tight
Adjust the partially elasticated waistband to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure it's not overly tight, which could restrict movement.
Pockets feel insufficient for gear
Utilize the secure zipped back pocket for essential items like keys or a small navigation tool. For larger items, consider pairing with a small backpack or hip pack.
Shorts feel too cool for the conditions
These shorts are designed for warm weather and high exertion. For cooler temperatures, consider wearing a base layer underneath or opting for a different garment.
